Big Stadium, Big Noise

I've got commuter lag, so I'm looking forward to an early bedtime tonight. The first day's orientation went well; I'm just trying to absorb everything in my new environment so I can make the most of it and do my best job. It's a similar feeling to when I started my first co-op rotation, except I have less jitters and more confidence. Plus, I've been on time so far!

... All of my fellow Hokies will sleep well tonight. In case you haven't heard or aren't at Virginia Tech right now, our very own Lane Stadium was voted the "Best Home Field Advantage" by Rivals.com. Hey, we always knew it, now we're just getting national confirmation. (This is on the heels of our engineering school jumping up to 14th in the nation, which is also cool.) This announcement just makes me hungry for football season even more.

... And on a sad note, Daryl of D103.com fame announced today that he'll be ending his blog at the end of August. Give a look through his archives, 'cause he's been blogging for years and years now, and it's always been interesting. As I mentioned in the comments over there, his site - along with several of my other friends who preceeded me - gave me inspiration to start this little humble piece of work right here. D103 will be missed.
